The Vampire's Warden by S.J. Wright

4 STARS

S.J. Wright gives an intriguing take on vampires in her novel, The Vampire's Warden. My only complaint is Wright did not complete her thought, and left the book with a giant cliff-hanger. But it was a well written book that leaves your head spinning! Might I add, there are two hunky male characters that will surely grab your attention. 

"Death was walking in my direction in slow motion  and my limbs refused to obey any commands to move, to help me get away from the monster stalking me."

All Hallows' Moon (The Seasons of the Moon) Book 2 by SM Reine

5 STARS

All Hallows' Moon is a brilliant sequel to Six Moon Summer by SM Reine. My 9 year old son ended up jumping into the series and reading alongside me. This book can stand alone, and doesn't end in a dreadful cliff hanger.

Six Moon Summer (The Seasons of the Moon) by SM Reine

5 STARS

Great Book, quick read. This book can stand alone, or you can read on to the next book. I love that although it's a series it doesn't end in a cliff hanger. It was a well thought out plot, very descriptive with a little bit of romance, lots of emotional drama and some exciting wolf action.

Fearless (Book one of the King Series) by Tawdra Kandle

3 STARS

I found this book to feel extremely long. Although it was a decent book, the author could have made the book more enjoyable with less words and redundancies. 

This book would be great for young teens! Fearless gives you a glimpse into the paranormal genre without the gore and sexual content that many YA Readers thrive for. 

"The thought of him leaving King--and me--caused such a choking panic in my heart that I could hardly breathe."

The Briar Creek Vampires Series 2-6 by Jayme Morse and Jody Morse

4 STARS

This book has more action, drama, and finally more details about The Briar Creek Vampires and the history of the town’s people. Thicker Than Water is one step above the first book.

3 STARS

I noticed more grammar errors in this book. But there is plenty of action, romance and drama and of course the book ends in yet another cliff hanger. 

4 STARS

Heartache, really?! I felt a bit devastated reading the last sentence of this book. So of course, I instantly purchased book 5.

3 STARS

I’m not sure I like the good guy becoming the bad guy, and the bad guy becoming the good guy. I am really disappointed in the direction the authors took the story.

3 STARS

I’m still hesitant in the direction of the romance the authors are leading the characters down. But I will most likely read book 7 when it comes out. Overall it’s a decent new vampire series.

Kiss of Death (The Briar Creek Vampires) Book 1 by Jayme Morse and Jody Morse

3.5 STARS

In this first installment of The Briar Creek Vampires you have to read the entire book before you can find out what in the world is going on in Briar Creek. And just when the authors reveal anything—they leave you hanging. WTH! Seriously?! But, I immediately purchased the second book because I had to know what happened next. So that must say something for the book!

The Guest and The Change (The Two Vampires) by M.D. Bowden

4 STARS

Enjoyable steamy and fast paced, The Two Vampires takes you on a ride of good vampire verses bad vampire, with delectable Sarah caught in the middle. 

I think the book could have been more intense had Sarah been more distraught over the happenings of her husband, and police involvement with the mysterious disappearances around town. Those few lacking elements made the book seem a little hard to believe. But M.D. Bowden still captured the audience, and wrote a creative story.

Breath of Air by Katie Jennings

4 STARS

From the Author: 

"The Dryad Quartet is a contemporary fantasty series revolving around the fictional land of Euphora, where beings inspired by Greek mythology exist to preserve the balance of nature and human life, and to protect the living from the evil residing in the Underworld. Take a journey into a world where Mother Earth and Father Sky exist, secretly hidden from human awareness, and yet crucial to the creation and stability of our world. They are joined by those who control the elements, the Dryads, as well as the Fates, Muses, and Furies, all whom play an integral role in preserving Earth and guarding those who inhabit it."

Katie Jennings

Mother Earth, Father Sky and plenty of characters creating weather, how fun! Katie Jennings leaves no details left unwritten in Breath of Air. This book could easily appeal to both young and old readers. Breath of Air is the first in the Dryad Quartet and can be purchased here.

Ravenous by Erica Stevens

4 STARS

If I had read what this book was about, chances are I would not have read the book. I like different, but aliens are not my thing. But—I’m thankful I didn’t know what this book was about, because it ended up being a great story. The end is a bit of a cliff hanger, and defiantly leaves you wanting more. Overall it was a good book. Great for young teens!

Perfect for You by Kate Perry

5 STARS

“Fiery goddess in search of the perfect god. Soar with me through clouds, frolic under the stars, hand me the moon for my own.  Mortals need not reply.”

Kate Perry writes a book that is Perfect for You! Well worth the 5 steamy Stars, and I look forward to reading other books by her. I’ve found a new favorite author!

“I want you to be the last thing I see when I go to sleep and the first thing I see when I wake up.  I want to sit with you in the sun, on the floor, and anywhere else, just to be close to you. I want it all.”

Ensuing Darkness by Alexis Cain

3 STARS

Ensuing Darkness is a weirdly intriguing book, and holds promise—if the author has better editing. Unfortunately it’s full of grammar errors, I stopped counting after 10.  Cain’s take on vampires is so out of this world and different, but in a good way. This book seems better suited for a younger audience. Depending on the price of the next book, I would consider reading it in hopes the editing is better.

Blood Snow Series 1-11 by RaShelle Workman

4 STARS

“Lips red as rubies, hair dark as night. Drink your true love’s blood, become the Vampire, Snow White.”

This is a great series! It contains 12 books, all relatively short. I read the first 11 books in a weekend. I’m currently waiting for book 12 to be published.

RaShelle Workman puts an interesting twist on the story of Snow White, and brings in several fantasy characters and realms.

I received the first 4 books for free, from Amazon and then paid .99 cent for each book after. Although the books are short, the money spent was well worth the read. (Pricing is always subject to change)
